Features

The HP FireWire®/IEEE 1394a PCIe x1 card includes the following

features:

• 1394a interface with data transfer rates of 400, 200, and 100

Mbps.

• 1394a compliant physical layer with 2 external 1394a 6-pin ports

and 1 internal port with pin headers for connecting a third

external 1394a port.

• Fits conveniently in a half-height or full height expansion slot in the

computer with convenient half-height bracket as well as the default

full-height bracket.

• Power to external devices is individually current limited to 1.5A per

port.

see QuickSpecs online at http://www.hp.com/go/productbulletin

Installing the 1394a PCIe x1 Card

1. Turn off power to the system and disconnect the power cord from

the power outlet.

WARNING! To avoid the risk of serious injury, ensure that the

power cord is unplugged from the electrical outlet at the wall

before installing the PCIe x1 card. Failure to do so may expose

you to the risk of electric shock.

CAUTION: To avoid the risk of damage to the system, ensure that

the power cord is unplugged from the electrical outlet at the wall

before installing the PCIe x1 card.

NOTE: Refer to the documentation included with your computer

for detailed information on installing an expansion card

2. Remove the computer cover or access panel.

3. Remove the appropriate expansion slot cover from the rear of the

computer.

4. A full-height expansion cover bracket is attached to the 1394a

PCIe card. If your computer requires a half-height bracket, remove

two screws that secure the full-height bracket to the card (1),

remove the bracket from the card (2), place the low-profile bracket

on the card (3), and secure the bracket with the two screws (4).

5. Insert the 1394a PCIe x1 card into an available PCIe 2.0

expansion slot in the computer.

NOTE: The 1394a PCIe x1 card has a PCIe 2.0 5 GHz interface.

For optimal performance, install this card in a PCIe 2.0 slot.

Installing it in a PCIe 1.0 slot could cause the card to run at a

reduced 2.5 GHz throughput. Refer to the documentation included

with your computer for detailed instructions on installing an

expansion card.

6. Look for an available SATA Power connector inside the chassis. If

one is available, do the following:

NOTE: The SATA power cable is only required for bus-powered

devices that consume over 1 amp of power.

• Using the SATA power cable provided, plug the far end of the

cable labeled P3 into the 1394a PCIe card. Plug the other

end of the cable labeled P1 into the available SATA power

cable.

If there is no available SATA power connector inside the chassis,

do the following:

• Disconnect the SATA power cable from the rear of any

available SATA drive, such as a hard drive or optical drive.

• Using the SATA power cable provided in the kit, plug the far

end of the cable labeled P3 into the 1394a PCIe card. Plug

the middle connector on the cable labeled P2 into the rear of

the drive that was disconnected in the previous step. Plug the

other end of the cable labeled P1 into the SATA power cable

that was disconnected from the drive.

7. Replace the computer cover or access panel.

8. Plug in and power on the computer.

9. After powering on the computer, make sure the card is being

recognized by the system (a popup message will display in the

system tray on the Windows taskbar).

10. Connect your 1394a device(s) to the 1394a port(s) on the 1394a

PCIe card. Refer to the device manufacturer's documentation for

specific instructions on connecting a device.

Connecting an External 1394a Port

The 1394a PCIe card is equipped with a 1394a connector on the rear

of the card that can be used to connect an external 1394a port.

CAUTION: If your computer supports a 1394a external port

through the system board, do not disconnect the external port

cable from the system board. Doing this causes the system to fail

at boot.

NOTE: For computers that do not support a 1394a external port

through the system board, connect the external port cable into the

1394a connector on the rear of the card.
